Possible Causes

Stuck fan relay on PCB, Faulty flue temperature sensor keeping fan on, Incorrect wiring from external controls

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Continuous fan operation wastes energy and may indicate a control fault.

  • Check demand indicators: Ensure there is no call for heat or hot water from external controls.
  • Power cycle: Turn off power for 30 seconds and restore. If the fan starts immediately with no demand, the PCB relay may be stuck.
  • Sensor check: A technician should test the flue temperature sensor and PCB outputs and replace the faulty component.
